Alone in the Crowd

By Estel Elendil

I'm truly alone

Alone in the crowd

It's pushing against me

Their voices so loud

But none of the words

Can reach my mind

They've all gone forward

And I'm left behind

Stuck inside myself

There's no where to go

I try to reach out

But how? I don't know

Stuck by myself

Though there are people around

Don't know how to break

The walls that surround

Can't seem to hide

Can't seem to blend

Or meld into the crowd

Can't become one of them

Because they don't exist to me

I see no one else here

I can never be with them

Cause I can't control my fear

They all look so happy

Their faces so proud

But I'm nothing like that

Truly alone in the crowd
